Chapter 365: I only work with the Qian family

Kang Shiming didn’t expect that such a twist would occur when he thought he was going to fail.

The young girl probably figured out his purpose long ago.

He was a villain in vain.

But he would willingly be this kind of villain.

“Has Miss Liu already considered which villages you will open a winery in? What is the main business? How will you recruit workers?”

With hope and a good mood, Kang Shiming took the opportunity to ask for details.

Liu Yusheng smiled; “I tentatively decided to open workshops in three villages, Yunshui Village, Luxi Village, and Potou Village. These three villages happen to be three lots geographically located in the middle of the villages of Cangwu Town. So when recruiting, we will recruit all the villagers in the surrounding villages with these three points as the center. The main business is still health preservation. The workshops won’t be too big, so the number of workers recruited are limited. However, this does not matter. In addition to recruiting workers, the villagers can also establish a trade deal with the workshops. For example, the raw materials needed for the operation of the workshops will be provided by them. They can also get rich. Just like Xinghua Village at present, villagers who do not work will grow fruit trees and herbs and sell them to workshops for money when they mature. As long as they keep their feet firmly on the ground, they will never go hungry.”

“Good! Great!” Kang Shiming’s eyes glowed as he listened, nodding and rubbing his palms. Applying the Xinghua Village model to other villages was totally feasible. As long as the people stayed grounded and worked hard, feeding their families wouldn’t be a problem.

It was much better than the situation where they couldn’t only rely on one-third of an acre and the elements for food.

“Although I have this intention now, I must first discuss it with my partner before settling down. So for the time being, Lord Kang should keep it to yourself. When our side is finalized, then Your Excellency can announce the news.”

“Miss Liu has previously been working with the Qian family in the capital, right? The Qian family is indeed extremely strong in all aspects, but have you ever considered that perhaps you can join hands with some local wealthy merchants to form a win-win relationship?” In Kang Shiming’s opinion, the Qian family had indeed played a role for the prosperity that the Xinghua Village Winery had attained at present. But on top of that, it was all due to Liu Yusheng.

Without Liu Yusheng’s wine recipes, no matter how rich and powerful the Qian family might be, they couldn’t have reached this step today.

Even the Qian family’s current leap of status in Nanling was dependent on Liu Yusheng’s health series to a large extent.

The initiative of the operation of the winery was actually in Liu Yusheng’s hands. As long as she wished, she could change partners at any time.

Deep within, he hoped that Liu Yusheng could cooperate with local merchants in Xiangshan, so that the economy of Xiangshan could rise to another level.

Liu Yusheng shook her head at his tentative proposal: “I only cooperate with the Qian family. If the city’s wealthy merchants have ideas, you can find the Qian family’s current young proprietor for negotiation. Although they can’t get involved in the wine workshops, there are many other ways for them to cooperate. If they want to achieve a win-win situation, it’s not impossible.”

She meant she wouldn’t acknowledge a second family other than the Qian family.

Kang Shiming could only nod: “Okay. Since Miss Liu has decided, then I will go back and wait for your good news!”

He should conduct himself with integrity and not ask for two after gaining one. He took it for granted.

It was already extremely rare for Liu Yusheng to agree to expand the winery in various villages. What happened afterward would be set aside for later.

Back home, when the family gathered for dinner, Liu Yusheng informed them of her intention to expand the winery.

Nobody in the family objected.

“Since you decided, go ahead and do it. The family supports it.”

“If there’s anything you want us to help you with, just say so. Dad will help you!”

“Not to mention, when the time comes, we may really be able to help. The new wineries must need someone to teach them the craft, right? By then, we and your parents might not be able to steal a moment of leisure.”

Liu Yusheng nodded: “Second Brother, you’re right. It will be impossible to take a break at that time. I need each of you!”

The big family burst into laughter.

Of course, amidst the laughter, they did not slack in hurrying to fill their bowls.

In the past, only Wei Hong was the foodie in the family. She could barely make do with the food without grabbing it.

Now that Wei Lan was added, he appeared in a race with Wei Hong at the dinner table every time. It depended on who clipped and ate quicker. If they did not hold onto their bowls and picked up some more, the dishes would have been gone once they finished talking.

“Grandpa, Grandma, parents, second uncle and second aunt, I am also ready to leave for the capital. The spring exams are in April. I need to return to the academy early to prepare for the exams,” Liu Zhixia also informed them during dinner that he was about to leave home. When he said that, a strand of emotion crossed his heart.

He had to leave home again, and it would take at least six months to see them again on his return after the examination.

Chen Xiulan was quite taken aback. “So soon? When will you leave? I’ll go pack your bags for you.”

“It’s not too soon. He’s been dawdling at home for more than half a month,” Grandma Liu said, “In my opinion, he should not have come back this year. You’re about to take the exam, so why did you come back? A return trip will take almost two months.”

“The capital is far away. There is no need for you to come back if there’s no emergency,” Grandpa Liu seconded.

Liu Zhiqiu interjected, “There is no need for you to come back even if there is an emergency. Aunt Hong has a special method of receiving and delivering letters. Brother, if you have important things to say in the future, you can send a letter directly.”

Liu Zhixia’s face darkened bit by bit. Eventually, helplessness filled his eyes.

He held back telling the family about it until today, for fear of making them sad and unhappy if he told them early.

They didn’t give a shit.

It was him who thought too much.

The scene of him leaving home compared to Nannan simply could not be lumped together.

He was picked up somewhere.

Fu Yuzheng glanced at Liu Zhixia and restrained a smile for his helplessness and indignation.

Then she also said her goodbyes to the Liu family, “Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, uncles and aunts, I have been away from the capital for a long time. It is also time for me to go back. There are still things in the capital that need my attention when I return. If I have time in the future, I will come back to visit you.”

“Yo, you also want to leave?” This time, reluctance finally surfaced on Grandma Liu’s face. “It’s only been a few days and you’re already leaving. Why not stay at home for a few more days?…That won’t work either. We’d be more uneasy if a girl like you travels back to the capital alone. into it, just have Zhi Xia with you as a companion, the road can have a lookout. It’s settled then. It’s good to have Zhixia with you as a companion, so you can have a lookout on the way.”

Grandpa Liu pondered for a moment and said, “Wife, pack some rice cakes later, and then some dried meat and dried vegetables they can take with them. When they arrive at the capital, give some to Axiu and Xiao Feng. Let them also try our own rice cakes this year.”

“I’ll do it after dinner.”

“Yuzheng, as long as you have time in the future, feel free to come. You are always welcome at home.”

Liu Zhixia listened with a bit of despair to their earnest exhortation before their departure. He could hardly find his place in this family.

However, looking at the woman’s eyes and eyebrows, tinged with warmth in the family’s concern, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised. Forget it, their care for her was their care for him.
